What are the implications of the recent changes to the MMPR regime in Canada?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Smith, 2014 BCCA 322 (CanLII):
The changes to the regime have resulted in a fresh round of constitutional challenges delaying the full implementation of the MMPRs (See Allard v. Canada, 2014 FC 280 and Garber v. Canada (Attorney General), 2014 BCSC 835). Neither the changes to the regulations nor the litigation have a bearing on this appeal.
